Gone and added more birds to my flock!!

TOF will be pleased!

Don't have to feed these two

and

they won't make a mess.

Oh yeah

some

PINK FLAMINGOS!!

Plastic Fantastic.

I wore my new to me frock to work today.

Teamed with Red boots

and

Red woolen coat.

When collecting the mail this afternoon for work, (but when on my way home) I stopped in on the Op Shops in Frankton. I think I have another collection starting, Delft Ware seems to be my thing and this piece was only $1. The little quote is for Mrs Webber, as I don't drink enough to get a hangover. The Cardy/Jacket is pure wool and 1/2 price at Vinnies so only $4, and in this wild cold weather we are having it will be a welcome layer in my wardrobe.

Hospice in town is remaining my favourite shop at the moment, the Faye Browne Jacket was $2.50 and how could I walk past the very cute spice set at $5. Even smells like all the spices, so cute!!

A staid neighborhood nearby was once enlivened by a flock of birds like these. When one man bought two, his neighbor objected to placing their pink plasticity in a place where he "had to look at them." Flamingo man then waited till dark and moved all 12 of them to face directly into Objector's large front window.

Happily, that turned the fuss into a gag. The rest of the summer the birds wore glasses, carried bouquets, campaigned for causes and really got around...

Danny recently came across a reference to Delft in something he was reading, so when we were at the thrift store I pointed out some to him. He wanted to know if it always has windmills, and I couldn't really say. I know it has to be blue, and it often has windmills, but I don't know if there's some style guide about that.

What do you want to know about me?

What can I tell you?? I am the other side of 50, Married to TOF (the old fella), we have two sons Max and Jak, two dogs, Oscar and Sheba, one cat called Biggy McBiggles or Big, a gorgeous Polydactyl kitten named ToeBee or Toes for short, and chickens of various sizes and breeds known as 'my girls.
I work part time so I can enjoy my love of second hand shopping, my garden and my passion for photography. I guess my blog is like a diary of my antics and you are more than welcome to comment or just secretly follow me. Hopefully you will enjoy what I have to share and get the odd laugh.
